Today we received a wonderful endorsement of Mr. Boardwalk from an expert on its setting, Bryant Simon. Professor Simon has written a highly praised book about Atlantic City—the town's charm, its problems, and what it can tell us about American life. It means a lot to us that he liked the novel. Here's what he has to say:
The Atlantic City of the past was a place oozing with a strange and elusive magic. In his tender and taut novel, MR. BOARDWALK, Louis Greenstein captures, as well as anyone has, the mighty and magnetic pull of this place, how it grabbed people when they were young and wouldn’t let go.
Mighty and magnetic indeed—and that aura is captured in the story and the characters.
